“…These case studies represent areas with different levels of rural development, from 'deep rural' to 'peri-urban' in the FARO typology (Van Eupen et al, 2012) and represent a cross-section spanning from peri-urban to marginal rural landscapes . They cover the diverse landscapes in Europe and are therefore well-suited for illustrating the variety of processes and patterns of land use intensity in Europe.…”

“…There are also some other studies dealing with the typology of rural areas which is based on more sophisticated indicators such as climatic and environmental ones (Van Eupen et al, 2012) or social and geographical ones (Perlín, Kučerová and Kučera, 2010;Klufová, 2016). Various methodologies on the national level (the National Strategic Plan for Rural Development of the Czech Republic) use the term rural municipality.…”

KUBÍČKOVÁ LEA, MORÁVKOVÁ MARTINA, TUZOVÁ MARCELA, NEČAS IGOR. 2017. The Role of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in the Development of Rural Areas. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 65(6): 1987Brunensis, 65(6): -1996 Apart from the indisputable importance of SMEs to the national economy, they also provide social and economic benefits for regions they operate in. In this context, the rural areas seem to be interesting because currently there can be seen a reappraisal and emphasizing of their importance. Between 2015 and 2016 there were carried out surveys in two different regions (Hodonín and Holešov) in order to define the role of SMEs in rural areas. The aim of these surveys was to determine how the particular players of the regional development subjectively perceive the role of SMEs in rural areas, particularly how is the role subjectively perceived by SMEs themselves and also by local representatives in the given regions and how SMEs perceive doing business in such regions. The analysis of survey results together with the analysis of secondary data on the important characteristics of these two regions provided the basis for comparison of subjective perception of SMEs; economic and social benefits in these two different regions. According to our findings the role of SMEs in rural areas in the Czech Republic is determined by the creation of competitive environment, the deepening of ties between apprentices and practice, the use of local resources, the increase in rural area attractiveness, the financial benefits for municipalities, the creation of vacancies, the sustaining of positive relationships within the local community and the development of infrastructure.

“…Considerable parts of the latter two zones, particularly at lower elevations, cover territory that is not included in EEA (2018). The ENS has been used to describe broad European environmental patterns (e.g., Di Filippo et al 2007;Holland et al 2009), to provide units for summary reporting (e.g., Thuiller et al 2005;Smit et al 2008), and to develop more detailed typologies designed for use by policymakers and other stakeholders (e.g., Hazeu et al 2011;van Eupen et al 2012). The European Commission has used the Environmental Zones as the basis for assessing High Nature Value farmland (Paracchini et al 2008), to identify potential areas for cultivation of bio-energy crops (EEA 2007), and to support the development of a European ecosystem map (BISE 2015).…”

Abstract:Defining the spatial extent of mountain areas has long been a challenge. In the present century, the availability of digital elevation models (DEMs) incorporated into geographic information systems (GIS) has allowed the definition of mountain areas based on topographic and other criteria. This paper presents the various delineations of mountains that have been prepared at three scales -global, regional (Europe), and national -and explores the reasons and processes leading to these delineations, and how they have been used. A detailed case study is then presented for Norway. Overall, two types of approaches to mapping mountains have been taken: first, considering mountains per se, based on elevation and/or topography; second, considering them among other categories, e.g., landforms or biogeographical, environmental or landscape zones. All attempts to map mountain areas derive essentially from the objectives of those commissioning and/or undertaking the work; a unitary definition remains unlikely.
